I'm Going To Build A 650 HP 496 With 781 GM Oval Port Heads

I think "someone" laughed at "someone else" for having a 2wd

Well nows "someone else's" chance to laugh at "someone" for having 4x4

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

There’s no way that is 2wd vs 4wd.... I’d think maybe more 1/2ton vs 3/4 ton? The Dana 44 can’t be much heavier than that monstrous 2wd front crossmember and control arms. How much does a 10 bolt weight?? Damn 14 bolt is like 550lbs... 10 or 12 bolt is what 150-200lbs? Plus big 35x12” tires.... dual 20 gallon fuel tanks

Is it possible to get 650 clams NA and have it down low and driveable were trucks need it ? I doubt it. Maybe with a blower or turbo.

It loses 1hp from 5900 to 6000 rpm... so I guess 5900 was the peak.



The number of timing cover bolts, mechanical fuel pump boss, and 2-piece rear main seal are dead giveaways. A Gen V would have a 1-piece rear main and most likely no mechanical fuel pump boss and a Gen VI would have only 6 timing cover bolts, 1-piece rear main, and no mechanical fuel pump boss.

Look at the Torque specs and where they start falling. Ever heard the quote, Horsepower sells cars, Torque wins races?

I’m not sure what you are arguing here. Torque isn’t power... I said it was building power up to 6, then you started in with power fell off at 5, now we are still going back and forth on this?? It is a great engine, makes lots of power AND torque... great build Mark, thanks for posting
